First time attempting agar via pastyplates. These started out fine but eventually they all started to look like this. I am assuming it's bacterial, however it does not smell funny.
I have two plates with only a small amount of that yellowing. Should I attempt to transfer some healthy mic to fresh plates and maybe clean up my SAB technique?
This is BRF agar for what it's worth.

Just looks like the food coloring is being eaten by the myc. Colored plates will eventually lose all their color and turn completely yellow eventually. The mycelium looks fine though. I see lots of good places to take transfersome from

Thanks for the input everyone. I am totally new to agar and have never seen anymore mention the color thing.
Being new to mycology i tend to assume the worst when something looks different from the pics lol.
Once again thanks for the info. I will make some more agar and do some transfers tomorrow.
